Didnt we have an agreement to play 10 home games at the G?

    3 games in Adelaide, happy days!

    The club and players loves playing in Adelaide.

    Sounds like a good draw for the Dees. Don't be too down about a Marvel home game. Marvel is actually a decent ground to watch footy in. Definitely prefer the MCG on a nice sunny day with a solid crowd but if the weather is windy and wet, Marvel is good value and can get a decent atmosphere if you get over 30K in. Handy being next to Southern Cross Station and its easy to get a beer or snack there without lining up too long.

    No, it isn't the bombers altho I don't wish them well either!! 

    I will happily 'death ride' both with the only benefit being the dark pleasure of their demise.😁

    Yep agreed. Don't give a toss what the fixture is, win enough games to make finals or top 4 and we will make money...

    Eagles at marvel late in the season hard to see 20k showing up for that, might be better if fan boycott so the afl stops with the stupidity

    Double up games:

    Somehow we’ve avoided the top 6 completely. 

    Also avoided Blues and Freo and play freo at home 

    Big opportunity for the club next year!

    A commercial disaster, but from a 'winnability' point of view, it's a good draw as things stand. Of course every year some teams surprise and some falter, but to only play Brisbane, Geelong, Swans (at home) Carlton, and Freo (at home) once, is a big win as I expect them to do well again next year. 

    And given our fans rarely turn up to night games, it's hard to complain about the 3:20 Sunday timeslot. You get what you deserve in this game*.

    Also good to have 2 easier game in the first 3 weeks, given we will be missing Kosi!

    *unless you're one of the AFL's love child, and then you get a lot more than you deserve

    tbh, I don't wish any team well but right now that new 'love child' is in the same category as the loathsome bombers!

    'Death ride' them both!!!

    Crazy we get only 12 games at the g next year and blues who split there games between docklands and mcg get 11, on top of the we travel intestate 7 times and Geelong once. 4 more than some other Victorian sides

    The fixture is perfectly fine

    i reckon the Hawks will regress this year so the best top 6 double up we could have asked for

    We have a very good record in Adelaide so suits us to play 3 games there.

    We should finish top 4. if we don't it won't be because of the fixture

    what's the answer though?

    move it to MCG just to get a couple more thousand attending?

    The commercial side of the draw gets mentioned quite a bit. Are we actually more disadvantaged with this draw compared to more night games like we had last year? We played GWS and Port on Saturday night prime last year both in front of a near empty MGC. Those games can't have been anything only loss making.

    If we play well through 15 rounds we'll be better scheduled last 7 games. Playing well is the best way to bring commercial success.

    I do think North and WC will significantly improve next season. Especially WC

    Saints... will be the Saints

    Pies will be top 4 imo

    Hawks will regress slightly and be in the mix to make finals

    GC - should improve with another year under Hardwick

    But aside from the Tigers there are no worse teams really

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
